Regarding Warner...did Holston play all 6 rotations as a freshman? Nope. Only 3. Didn't play six rotations until her sophomore year. |

Is Marlie that much better than Allie? I just don’t see how she could pass up two setters with experience

Is Marlie that much better than Allie? I just don’t see how she could pass up two setters with experience She has the height at 6'0. She's a better setter (in terms of tempo and location) coming into her collegiate career than Allie was. The major questions for her is her back row defense (which I haven't seen a great deal of) and ability to handle OOS passes. Most people are almost certain she'll redshirt, I mean it just makes sense in the long run, but having your incoming players keep the same setter for four years would be a pretty good thing too.
And Allie didn't exactly salt away her position with all those doubles this year.

If a freshman beats out two setters that lead their team to the NCAA Championship Match one of two things would have to be true: 1) the senior 4 that led the team were so good that they overcame sub standard setting 2) the incoming freshman is the best freshman setter in the class and maybe of all time If 1) is true then that spells big trouble for UF no matter who sets And 2) is not accurate So by deduction, it ain’t happening imho |

But I agree, probably not gonna happen. |

But I agree, probably not gonna happen. I’m not disagreeing with all that say it could happen. The freshman is talented but if she displaces two starters from the NC Final team then that’s 6 of 9 main pieces gone. My point is, if that’s even a possibility I think UF should be in the same conversation with Auburn. Basically starting from scratch with a bunch of talented freshman. Their incoming classes are very similar with a slight nod to Hall. |

Some people like to dis Huskey, but I believe she is going to improve a lot by next year. This was the first year she had substantial playing time, so I think the experience and off-season play will do wonders for her.

You cannot dispute Huskey's blocking ability. New to this but can someone explain how hard it is to set someone 6ft 8in? Or someone who can jump like she is 6ft 8in? Both Huskey and Monserez had a hard time setting the middles. Just Saying

Both Huskey and Monserez had a hard time setting the middles. Just Saying Setting Kramer is one thing. She's not a great jumper (sorry but it's true) so finding her perfect set height shouldn't be that difficult. Alhassan is a different story since her contact point is so much higher meaning the setters would have to push the set higher than usual. Most of the time, they worried about jacking it up too high, thus overshooting her.
Not sure that the setting to Kramer was a problem down the stretch, it was more in her decision making. She became pretty predictable in where she wanted to go, making it an easy read for the block as well as the back row. 6'8 sounds really good, but it means nothing if you can't really jump. There were multiple times during the season where you could see Huskey putting up the same size block as Kramer, which says more about Kramer.

Great points. In the latter parts of the tournament the sets were not there for Alhassan. She was pushing the ball over moreso than hitting the ball over the net. I hope Huskey and Monserez work hard on getting that connection with Kellum and King. |

Huskey has AA potential. She's athletic, tall, a great blocker. She just needs to work on her location, and decision making.
